Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Hosts Third Annual Fright Night at the Fairgrounds

Friday’s and Saturday’s in October – 3:00-5:30 pm for smaller kids (not so scary) and 6:00-9:00 pm for older kids and adults (full scare)! 

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO) is hosting their third annual “Fright at the Fairgrounds” during the month of October. “Fright at the Fairgrounds” will be offered at the Douglas County Fairgrounds located off Pinenut Road in Gardnerville and will run every Friday and Saturday afternoon/evening through the month of October. Tickets are $5.00 for kids and $10.00 for adults.

Operation times are: 3:00-5:30 pm for smaller kids (not so scary) and 6:00-9:00 pm for older kids and adults (full scare)!  Free candy is offered to kids between 3-5:30 pm each Friday and Saturday.

This attraction is operated by DCSO deputies and civilian volunteers who donate their time planning, building, decorating and operating the event.  This event has been extremely popular in past years and produces big scares, screams, fun and excitement for all ages.

All proceeds from Fright at the Fairground will be given to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office-Search and Rescue Unit (SAR), for training and much needed equipment.  The DCSO SAR Team, is made up completely with volunteers and is responsible for saving lives and locating lost or stranded people.

Please-no costumes allowed.

Your chance of winning Bunco is 1:12. In the United States, a woman’s chance of being diagnosed with invasive breast cancer is about 1:8.

These odds, and the women and men it affects, is the reason why BHGE has hosted Bunko for Breast Cancer since 2004 donating over $300,000 in support of the Carson Tahoe Cancer Resource Center.

Help us raise funds for our neighbors. The proceeds raised during this event will directly support local patients with breast cancer, by helping with financial assistance with treatment, costs for medications, co-pays and assistance for transportation to and from treatment.  The funds raised also help send our patients to a unique retreat program called Casting for Recovery, which combines breast cancer education with peer support and the therapeutic sport of fly-fishing to promote healing mentally and physically.

Hello Bunko players,

It’s that time of year again to begin thinking about our annual Bunko for Breast Cancer. This years event will be held October 19th, 2019. Put this date on your calendar and begin planning your October event with your peers, friends, family, and survivors. We are excited for another fun year of raising money for our cancer patients of Nevada. What an incredible resource center that we have here in Northern Nevada that delivers awesome support from anything to treatment, patient care, extended family care, retreats, and so much more. You, the players help each of these patients get through a difficult time with your support. How awesome are you!

The theme for 2019 is World Cultures/International! Let’s get really creative and show our gratitude and appreciation as a united front.
